Per @MountaineerTom, it looks like the best option is to get cables made from someplace like this:

Given that, let's ask a different question. Keeping the stock air box, where's the best location under the hood for placing the control box for a Warn? It seems like it should be as close to the winch as possible, which limits placement. I'd love to put it on the vacant tray by the driver side firewall, but that's to far away.
Thanks!The eBay listing showed it was from an ‘89 - ‘93 Buick Century with a 3.3 liter.
What airbox are you running?My control box is mounted to piece of steel and fastened to the grille support rod with cushioned p-clamps. mrblaine made me some new wires out of welding cable.

You could always step up a few notches and get a real air intake system. I promise you it is not for the faint of heart.What airbox are you running?

I'd be confident in my ability to get the Windstar box mounted. Securing it with a custom mount like the crossbar in the picture would certainly prove to be my nemesis. I'm wondering if I had a spare grill support, or other piece of metal, and welded that perpendicular to the existing supports, would that be an okay platform to secure the airbox to?You could always step up a few notches and get a real air intake system.

The crossbar is for the shock hoops, a brace. The filter box isn't heavy, single hose clamp and a piece of flat stock off the side of the motor will hold it.I'd be confident in my ability to get the Windstar box mounted.

I'm going to dig out a couple Windstar housings and see if I can mock this up. If it goes wrong I'm going to blame you for giving me the idea, and, more importantly, myself for the poor execution!The crossbar is for the shock hoops, a brace.
